Matthews said that immediately after receiving the tip, deputies and investigators used cadaver dogs to canvas a suspicious wooded area and found the grave.

SLED, Kershaw County sheriff's investigators and deputies with the Lee County Sheriff's Office worked the scene for several hours, seeking clues and further information.

Family members said that Davis went to a bar in Bethune Dec. 30 with some friends, and that’s where his car was found.

Davis' sister said he rode with his friend to the friend’s nearby home on Waters Road and that is where he was last seen.
